Durable treadmill, with some issues, but still recommended
Matthew Aaron Russell✓ Verified Purchase•September 13, 2023
I never write reviews but for something that's over $3,000, I'll spare some time. I ordered my T22 in May and it came shortly after that. The delivery company walked it into the kitchen and I'm glad they did. This is one heavy package.
I opted for the self-assembly, another thing that I'm glad I did and I recommend that you do to. The reason is that some of these electrical connections are very fragile. You'll have to push and pull some of these wires down some of the components and if you don't take the proper care I bet you'll have problems later on. I've seen reports of individuals complaining of switch issues and while I have no proof I would still be willing to bet you blame an assembly guy that wouldn't care about the product as much as you do. So my assembly took a few days, I was slow, but cautious, and it was just me, so your millage may very. I've used it for 12 weeks now and have had no electrical connection issues at all. Once it's assembled the thing is a tank, but before, treat it carefully.
I waited to give a review because at first I had a lot of problems with this treadmill, but I wanted to love it. So I wanted to see if they'd work out the kinks or if I could figure something out. I did or they did, or we both did or whatever because in the beginning I would give this product 2/5 stars but now it's 5/5 and I recommend it to anyone that's looking in this price range.
The first problem I had is the loss of internet connection. Every. Single. Run. I would lose internet connection but it's important to note that this does not stop your run. She'll say "workout paused" and you'll read "connection lost". I would quickly tap "ok" and keep moving. Without a connection you'll be staring at nothing but at least you'll get your run in.
Solve this by connecting to your 2.4 ghz internet connection. Make sure your SSIDs are labeled differently because it'll connect to both if you attempt to connect to the 2.4 ghz ID.
What I like to do is play the video "walking through a place" and their supplied music, but that didn't last because another problem was the music stopping halfway and when the workout was over the program would freeze, forcing a restart. The only around this was to not play the music. I connect my phone over bluetooth now and play some music, and I still use their video of walking through different places, which I must admit is really cool. But I could never get their music to work. But not playing their music avoids that problem.
After those two things this treadmill has been extremely reliable and so far I've lost 35 lbs with it.
To mention some quirks-but-not-failures I'd point out that the angle and speed request can be a bit mushy. For instance I'll want to walk at 3.6 mph, push the 3, and then hit the up arrow to demand the machine speed up but you'll hit the button and it takes awhile to register that you did so, so I usually go to 3.8 mph and have to arrow down. Also I really with there was a way you could program your own workout but they give you a lot of pre-made options and you can always adjust, which I do.
After all that I do recommend this treadmill, there is a lot of room on the belt and it's easy to use. I've not had any mechanical issues so far.

Amazing Treadmill with One Slight Flaw
F Alan✓ Verified Purchase•September 7, 2023
This is the BEST at home treadmill I have ever used. I would say I wouldn't even be interested in owner another treadmill after this one exception. The wires in this thing are EXTREMELY thin. If you look at the wires the wrong way they will break, and if you even think about looking at the wire connectors the wrong way they will also break.
The saving grace is Nautilus/Bowflex have some of the best customer service/warranty support I have ever dealt with. Would recommend this treadmill, just hope Bowflex does a revision where they make the wires and wire connects thicker/sturdier.

At long last, I have received parts and the treadmill works great. Functionally it does work great I am very happy with the product.

Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Disney+ (Streaming service provider subscriptions not included. JRNY Membership required to access streaming service provider apps on console.), picture all show open streaming on screen, but didn't learn till turning on you have to pay $149 a year to use 60% of options offered on screen?! Garbage!
Well Built

Works well and am impressed so far. Not as easy to assemble as I hoped but it wasn't too bad either. The user interface can take a little getting used too but once you've set a program once or twice you start getting the hang of it. Decent incline/decline and plenty of speed for a workout. Really enjoying the free year of JRNY so far too. Item was mishandled a little in shipping as well with minor cosmetic damage and Amazon rectified the situation quickly. Thank you Amazon for standing by the customer when these things happen.
